Results of pilot ‘more organic in government catering’

ow can a minimum percentage of 25% organic products (food and beverages) in the catering of the central government be realized financially and logistically? CE Delft investigated this on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV). It appears to be financially and logistically feasible to realise 25% organic products in catering.

CE Delft has drawn up recommendations for both clients and caterers. A roadmap has also been created for parties that want to introduce a larger range of organic products.

This roadmap contains:

  • an advice for the standards for the purchasing weight to be used per business department by the end of 2027;
  • a growth path with promising products that will lead to a larger organic range, with a high percentage of Dutch products and low additional costs.
